The New Castle Henry County Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the 2021 Memorial Day Parade. Again this year, there is a $100 cash prize for the Best Theme Decorated parade float. Certificates will be given for the following: Most Patriotic, Vintage Auto, Most Unique, Crowd Pleaser.
This year's theme is "Honoring Our Heroes".
Line-up instructions and entry number will be emailed closer to the event date to the address provided. Groups not registered will placed at end of parade line-up. Please provide a bio (will be read by the parade announcer as you pass by the judges) and as much information as possible about your parade entries. This helps us allow enough room in the line up area for each group.
Hate groups or groups wishing to spread unkind messages or target others through their participation in the parade will not be allowed to participate in this Chamber sponsored event. The Chamber, as a private entity, will have the final determination regarding participation.
Please note:
-The ceremony and parade will be canceled if our county goes orange after May 13, 2021.
-For the safety of our spectators and participants, candy is not to be thrown from vehicles or floats during the parade. You may have members walk and toss candy along the side walk. This is a safety issue to protect our children.
-Those with children participating in the parade must assume responsibility for the safety of those children.
-The Chamber is not responsible for accidents or injuries caused by participation in the parade. Participants assume all risks and responsibilities.
